Myth: Genetically Modified Foods are safe to eat

TRUTH: In an effort to make this easy to read, I’m bulleting the major points because the research studies conducted so far paint a clear picture:

Laboratory and livestock animal studies have found harmful effects from GMO seed.

The most hyped GM nutritionally enhanced food (Golden Rice) hasn’t been proven safe or effective. Meanwhile, a serving of sweet potato provides about 440% of your daily Vitamin A needs though, I’ll admit that it doesn’t have quite the same shelf life).

There are no GM nutritionally enhanced foods on the market (so, they’re no healthier than their natural counterparts).
